RE: The tariff classification of a child’s costume from China.

Dear Mr. Crago:

In your letter dated January 31, 2005 you requested a classification ruling. The sample will be returned to you as requested.

The submitted sample, style C079BA00460, Velvet Sabrina Costume Set consists of a long dress, hat and belt. The dress is composed of knit velvet 100% polyester fabric. The dress has long sleeves a sewn in elastic neckline and a moon and star appliqué on the front. The well-made dress has styling features and a finished neckline.

GRI 3(b) is applicable when goods are, prima facie, classifiable under two or more headings, and have been put up in sets for retail sale. GRI 3(b) states that the goods “shall be classified as if they consisted of the material or component which gives them their essential character.” In this case, the dress imparts the essential character of the set.

The applicable subheading for the Velvet Sabrina Costume Set, style C079BA00469 will be 6104.43.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for "Women’s or girls’dressesknitted or crocheted: Dresses: Of synthetic fibers: Girls’." The duty rate will be 16% ad valorem. The textile category designation is 636.
